Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows


Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –

Let's analyse the conclusion –
Conclusion (I): All singers are poets – From the Venn diagram, there is no direct relation between poets and singers. So, no definite relation can be drawn. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some intelligent persons are not singers – According to the given Venn diagram all singers are intelligent and there is no negative relation between intelligent and singers, therefore this conclusion does not follow.

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
